The newly mastered reissued version of Donnie & Joe Emerson‘s lost 1979 classic LP Dreamin’ Wild — a record that was once about as obscure as things like this can get these days, at least until blogs like Soul Sides caught on, and then Ariel Pink officially blew up their spot — is out next week on Light in the Attic. The label has hooked us up with a copy of the LP on super limited (100 copies) 180g baby blue vinyl (already long sold out) to give away to one of you. Just tell us the name of a record that you feel deserves to be rediscovered/reissued in the comments, and I’ll pick a winner next week. It’s worth noting that Donnie was only 17 when he wrote this masterpiece, and as great as Ariel Pink‘s and Dean Blunt/Inga Copeland‘s versions are, the original was already about as perfect as they come:

Got this earlier in the week from Light In the Attic. No baby blue or that bonus 45 they put in 25 random copies, but a great record, with a lot of love gone into the packaging. Love the essay included– it’s really heartwarming. You don’t always get that from a record.
Would love to see a reissue of:
David Shire “Conversation OST”
Some sort of Nass El Ghiwane Box Set
Would love a deluxe reissue of “Come to My Garden” or like the entirity of Minnie Riperton’s catalog. and also basically anything Charles Stepney had his hands on.

i really think Goblin’s soundtrack to the film Suspiria ought to be given a nice vinyl reissue.
Does this website have a way to look at old comments? I was wanting to read the rest of them, but it seems like it only stores the past few. What a shame.
sorry, i’m looking into fixing that
